About this character
The character 😵 is known as Emoji Dizzy Face and carries the Unicode code point U+1F635, which is 128565 in decimal. It belongs to the Emoticons block (U+1F600–U+1F64F), which gathers the expressive faces, from smiling to crying, that form the core of the emoji vocabulary.
In memory, 😵 takes 4 bytes in UTF-8 (0xF0 0x9F 0x98 0xB5) and 2 in UTF-16 (0xD83D 0xDE35). That difference is why badly configured forms or databases garble this character: they assume one byte per character.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Unicode code for 😵?
Its code point is U+1F635, which is 128565 in decimal and 0373065 in octal. In HTML you can write it as 😵 or 😵.
Why does 😵 show up as a box or a question mark?
An empty box means the font has no glyph for U+1F635. The character is still in the text: switching to a font that covers the block (Noto, DejaVu or Segoe UI Symbol) makes it appear.
Can I use 😵 in a filename, a URL or a password?
In a URL it must be encoded as %F0%9F%98%B5. Modern filesystems accept it, though it is still risky when moving files between systems. For passwords, some forms reject non-ASCII characters outright.
